Suggest Way To Whiten The Crown Of The Tooth Replaced By Dentist During Root Canal

some of my teeth are root canals with the crown and the last one crown I had put in the dentist did not match color to my original teeth, and it looks yellowish. Is there anything i can do to whiting this tooth. I tried crest white strips, but it did not help my crown?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You want to whiten the crown of the tooth replaced by the dentist during a root canal. I would suggest you visit endodontist once and get it examined. Get through examination did whether it is due to nerve compression after root canal treatment or it is in a different color only. If it is post RCT get it redone to clear the infection and after that go for restoration and if it is due to color mismatch go for veneering of restoration. You can get for re-crown fabrication as well. For now, maintain proper oral hygiene.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
